Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) The bright red color of the Temple Bar in Central Dublin , caught my eye and kept me from walking by. This corner bar was established in 1840, and is full of Irish history and traditions. You cannot help but notice the life-size portraits of Sir William Temple and Lady Martha Temple, both happily raising a toast to all passers by. They have live music daily, Powers Pure Pot Sill Whiskey, and a plate of oysters to wash down with a Pint of Guinness. I chose the meat and potatoes instead of the oysters, and just as the sign above the corner entrance proclaimed, I discovered that ... Guinness Is Good For You.

I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
